Two Little Poems About an Oh so Big God
When I was living
at the pinnacle of a big cliff,
Christ directed His tender mercys toward me.
He took me off
a jagged-craghead
and placed me on a cushion
to live.
And now His chastenings and corrections
are like a gentle wisp of wind
lifting my hair toward the sun.
When I am wrong
He gently shakes a finger
at me.
And I respond easily
because I love him so.
The Clicker
Dear Lord,
Still my tongue
if it goes
in the wrong direction.
If it clicks,
keep it from tapping out
the wrong messages.
